Everything I was
Everything I’ve been
God I’ve got my regrets
I was a wretched man
But You called me on down to the water
Met me by the riverside
You took me in
You drowned my sin
And said “dead man come alive!”
Then I left it in the water
My yesterdays
Are history
I left it in the water
Like I went down dirty
But I came up clean
Left it (left it)
Left it (left it)
Left it in the water
God I still got my struggles
But close to the broken heart
even I’m falling
I’m in arms
You found me on my Damascus
And me with light
You took me in
Drowned my sin
Said “dead man come alive!”
I am born again
I have been made whole
Nothing the blood
over my soul
hallelujah
this signify
All You have done me
I got to testify
Left a good job down in the city
Workin’ the man every night and day
But I never lost minute sleepin’
Worryin’ ’bout the way things might’ve been
Big wheels on turnin’
Proud Mary on burnin’
And we’re rollin’ (rollin’), rollin’, yeah rollin’
Rollin’ on the rollin’ on the river
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the among the evergreens
There stood a cabin made and wood
lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a guitar a-ringin’ a bell
Go, go
go
go
go
go
Johnny B. Goode
